I am passionate about learning and teaching, and I have discovered that when you teach you to learn, and when you learn, you expand your capacity to teach. That’s why I love public speaking and attending conferences, seminars, workshops… and all types of live events. I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Arizona and …

I cried so much when I found out Casey Kasem died… It was June 15th, 2014, on Father’s Day. Even though I never met him, I truly felt like I knew him. He was a radio legend that hosted American Top 40 for many decades, yet to me, he was sort of a personal friend …
The late Jim Rohn once said “You Can’t Hire Someone Else To Do YOUR Push Ups For YOU” and I not only agree with it, I’m going to say you can’t blame someone else because you didn’t do them. Here’s the deal: Our daily decisions determine our direction and our destination. We shape ourselves by …

The water was beautiful, clear, and warm. I had my new bathing suit on and my shoes off. I was registered and ready! Or so I thought. The friendly instructor waved at me with an inviting smile. “You can come in!” she said, and my heart sank as I walked slowly toward her in the …
Do you sometimes feel stuck, uncomfortable, in a situation where you just want to hit an imaginary ESC key… or better yet, CTRL+ALT+DELETE and Calgon Take Me Away? I do. One of the biggest misconceptions of being POSITIVE is that you are ALL smiles ALL the time and that you are an OPTIMIST, you know, because “you don’t face REALITY.” …
I was talking to a friend recently about how we sometimes let other people define our success. We let society dictate what makes us successful, we let our family decide whether we are good parents or not, we let the perception of other couples define what a happy relationship is… and don’t get me started …
As you may already imagine, date night is a rare commodity in our household, but that didn’t start when our sweet baby was born. Our first date was on Valentine’s Day, 2012 (it’s scary that it hasn’t even been two years ) and on that day I was joking with someone trying to freak him out a …
